Sonic 2 Beta Update!
dirkdes
"What's the highest bid?", let me say this -
Update! Anyone willing to pay about $150 American
dollars or $200 Australian will have a EXTREMELY good
chance of getting the Sonic 2 Beta.
Though, it may seem extremely expensive, it is rare.
If someone finds another beta copy (very doubtful), the
price will be reduced significantly.
You don't need to be able to convert the game into a
rom image.
E-mail me - user...@start.com.au for further details
and _genuine_ offers.
Thank you for your time.

PS - I accidentally posted this article to the Sega Saturn
Newsgroup so don't scream if you find it there.

Are you fuckin crazy?! No one is stupid enough to pay $200 for two extra
levels! Hell, for that price just go buy a 64 or a PSX and a game!

Michael Ford
site owner's friend had a Beta of Sonic 2, and they were trying to convert
it to ROM format. They were also holding a competition (I forget exactly
what you had to do) where the winner wins a copy of the Beta. Would this
happen to be your site I am referring to, or is there someone else out here
in australia whose friend owns a Sonic 2 Beta also?
The obvious reason why I'm bringing this up, is simply because anyone who
has the ROM is able to make infinite copies of the ROM easily (unless of
course they run outta space :P). This would definately lower the value of
this game.

Wow, if you're really looking for that kind of money for it, you might be
better off going to the Auction-thingie after all... I bet you had a good
laugh at my bid... ^^;;

I thought you said some guy was sending you a Super Magic Genie to make it into
a ROM image. Were you lie-ing?

Maybe we should all chip in ten bucks and just send it to somebody with a
rom-maker? ^_^;; Then we could give the original to some museum someplace
where everyone could see it ^_- I don't think we've got the organizational
skills necessary to pull off something like that though... ^^;;;;

You're correct. September '99 in the states.

I wonder if there is such a thing as a video game museum. That would
be cool! I would be a little nervous about sending $10 to some guy I
don't know, because I have virtually no way of knowing what he/she
will do with it, and what I will get out of it.

Look on the bright side... If you lived in Japan, you couldn't get
Sonic 3D Blast until 3 years after it came out in the US.

Actually it is rather annoying, what you could do is just put two spaces
between the thing you're repling to and your reply, like what I'm doing right
now, or you could put your reply at the end of the last message. It's just
somthing to do so others can tell just what you're trying to say without
squinting.

Good point. Not that I'd WANT Sonic 3D Blast.(Gosh, I hate that game.)

There IS a videogame museam in St. Louis Misouri, and I've been there.
It has all the old videogames(DK, Pac Man, excetera) and the history behind
them. They are playable, too. ;) There's around 300 of them, I'm sure. I'm
really not sure if it's there anymore because I went there when I just turned 6
(5 years ago).

Yeah, it is a little on the annoying side. I used to do that at a KIDS ONLY
board, but got some complaints.

Like this?
Fred E. L.
St. Louis? That's close to where I live. I have GOT to see that! Do
you know exactly where in St. Louis it is?
Fred E. L.
Oh, it wasn't THAT bad. I actually love that game. But everyone has
different tastes in video games.

Do you speak Japanese? That could be a real good reason: No Japanese ->
No job -> No cash -> No Dreamcast and Sonic Adventure
Bahamut Dragons
The best games (to me) are the RPG types, like FF or Breath of Fire. Of
course, Square Soft is the best, and Nobuo Uematsu makes the best songs
(compare to Sonic ones and =give me your opinions).
The worst are like Ogre Battle

True. 200$ is a little... a lot of exageration.

There you go again! Try spacing between quotes, it might help.

of getting it. It doesn't mean that a person can't bid less
than it. So far, the highest bid is $80 US ($131 Australian)
by Michael Stearns.
Cool, eh?
> I guess it's better to buy a PSX and a bunch of used games instead. ;)
No, it's better to buy a Sega Saturn and a bunch of *first-hand* games
instead. But since you said it was a guess, I'll let you off ;)

IMO the only good thing about Sonic 3D was the Special
Stages. Too bad I couldn't find a cheat to play *only*
the special stages.
I can only dream.....

Fred, you did it again! ^^; You need to get a couple spaces between your

Exactly why it wouldn't work, 'cuz I feel the same way ^_- It's iffy
business, getting several people's money together like that... But it would
be a nice idea ^_^;

To my thinking, PSX is really, but really, better then the Saturn.

before!

He's talking to Alessandro like he's better than him. Now that's proof that
he's starting to think too highly of himself, and if we dont stop him now this
will become the official Dirkdes newsgroup!
